32 bit/ 64 bit bootstrapping

[solitaryReaper]

Hi all,
I have a basic msi project which has a hybrid setup. It generates two seperate setup.exe depending on the release flags (32bit/64bit).
I need to bootstrap these two in such a way that depending on the users system 32/64 launch the corresponding setup.exe.
Does InstallShield have any functionality to help me achieve this.
Would really appreciate if anybody could point me to a link, tutorial which has some details about this.

Thanks in advance.

Anybody there?:(

You can use an installscript project that detects the cpu-type of the target system and launches the appropriate setup.exe

Thanks for your reply.
Please could you provide some more details. Like which function (LaunchAppAndWait?) to use and at what point should the code be doing this.

Not sure if this helps, but here's what I do in my installscript:

//check if the system is 64bit..if so then continue
if SYSINFO.bIsWow64 != 0 then

//disable 64bit redirection
Disable(WOW64FSREDIRECTION );

//do whatever you need to with redirection turned off here..for instance copy
dllPath = WINSYSDIR64 ^ "my64.dll";
LongPathToQuote(dllPath,TRUE);

dllPath2 = szDLLFileLocation + "\\my64.dll";
LongPathToQuote(dllPath2,TRUE);

XCopyFile(dllPath2, WINSYSDIR64 , COMP_UPDATE_VERSION | SHAREDFILE);
DeleteFile(WINSYSDIR ^ "my64.dll");
appPathReg = WINSYSDIR64^"Regsvr32.exe";
LaunchAppAndWait(appPath," /s " + dllPath, WAIT);

//Enable redirection back
Enable(WOW64FSREDIRECTION );
endif;

Thanks for your replies. I was able to launch the corresponding setup.exe depending upon the user system.
But i still have a problem. Now as the exe's are InstallscriptMSI projects and i am launching them through another InstallScript project I have two sets of dialogs, One for the InstallScript project and the other when it launches the setup_32.exe or setup_64.exe.
Is it somehow possible to hide/suppress(silent) the dialogs for Installscript project but display the dialogs for the MSI project which it launches.

Sorry to be asking so many questions but I am really lost trying to figure this out :confused:
